Senses
mediana is used for these senses in English:
- median (statistics) A number separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample, population, or probability distribution. The median of a finite list of numbers can be found by arranging all the observations from lowest value to highest value and picking the middle one (e.g., the median of {3, 3, 5, 9, 11} is 5). If there is an even number of observations, then there is no single middle value; the median is then usually defined to be the mean of the two middle values. [from 19th c.]
- median strip (US) A strip of land between opposing lanes of a road.
- traffic island (chiefly, UK, road transport) A raised or otherwise marked area in a roadway from which traffic is excluded, so as to direct the traffic flow and provide a safe place for pedestrians to wait while crossing the road. [from early 20th c.]
